WD12 - bring another app to front

Hi,
using ExeRunning() / ExeRun() I can start an application, which is not yet running.
Now I want to bring a already running application to the front!
I'm able to get the PID of an instance by using ExeListProcess(), but can't succeed in bring it to front.
I tried several API-calls, but still no luck.

Does anyone have an example of doing this?

Hi Arie,

look SysSetFocus in the help

Best regards

Fabrice,
I tried that already.
SysSetFocus needs a windowhandle. But I do not know the handle of a window of an application which is not mine.
SysWinHandle() could do this, but then I need to know the EXACT window title. Which is unknown (depends on the state of this application at that very moment - i.e. ResWinHandle = SysWinHandle("Microsoft Word - Sales.DOC")).

So basicly my problem is to found out the window-handle of another process. I tried to enumerate all processes (calling EnumProcesses() in isapi.dll) and find the windowhandle via its PID. But no luck so far.

I solved this. I made a small DLL in Delphi to do this:
1. enumerating all processes and scan for the required executable.
2. Then enumerating all windows, which belong to this process. And get the one with no parent-handle.

Finally, back in Windev, I had to CallDLL32("User32.dll","SetForegroundWindow",nHandle)

I will post a small demo-project under solutions, these days.
